After interviewing several similar organizations in Vancouver, my daughters and I decided to send their father here to recuperate after a minor stroke. He is now settling in nicely and started to like the services, people and food provided by the home. We found the home extremely well run under the General Manager Mirandah Sinden, with impressive teamwork among all the staff and workers. We cannot be more pleased with this home, without which we would have to spend a lot more time and energy managing their father's well beings. Thank you Gilmore homes, we are forever grateful ’•™™™

My parents have been living in Gilmore Garden since last summer. It was extremely difficult to find a right place for aging parents, but we are so glad that we found GG. So far we are very happy that they are in this warm, bright, and welcoming community where all staffs are friendly, caring and helpful to answer their needs. They enjoy the holiday celebrations, parties, concerts, and performances. They participate in programs and activities as they like. Most importantly, we feel that they are in a safe place should they need any health assistance. GG has done an outstanding job in creating a happy and comfortable home for seniors!

I had the pleasure of volunteering at this senior home and I must say, it was an amazing experience! The atmosphere was so warm and inviting, and I felt at home from the moment I walked in. The staff and residents were all so friendly and welcoming, and it was clear that they genuinely care about each other. The facilities were top-notch, and the residents were always engaged in fun and meaningful activities. I was impressed with the variety of programs offered, from group exercise classes to arts and crafts workshops, there was something for everyone. What struck me the most about this senior home was the sense of community and family that was present. The staff went above and beyond to create a comfortable and happy environment for the residents, and it really showed. You could tell that the residents were happy and well-cared for. Overall, I would highly recommend this senior home to anyone looking for a safe, welcoming, and enriching environment for their loved ones. Thank you for the opportunity to volunteer and be a part of such a special community!

Gilmore Gardens deserves its reputation as the outstanding senior retirement residence in Richmond, B.C. The staff have a close relationship with its residents, and warmly welcome visitors. The environment offers much interest such as its cottage kitchen, library, outdoor patios and gardens, and fitness centre. The monthly Calendar highlights daily activities to stimulate the physical and mental health of their residents. Bus outings are provided to places of interest. Gilmore Gardens provides a home for those who want a comfortable residence in their senior years. I highly recommend it. Susie Yuen

When you walk through the front doors at Gilmore Gardens, you feel like you are entering a 5 star hotel! The staff are always friendly and courteous; they treat residents and guests as family. Many staff members have worked there for many years ... which speaks volumes to the quality and respect of management. The layout of the building allows for maximum natural light in all suites; while the elevators in the middle of the building provide easy access for everyone. I'm so pleased that my parents chose to live at Gilmore Gardens!

Excellent service, friendly and caring staff, professional management, warm and inviting atmosphere, scrumptious meal service, 5 out of 5 stars. These are the words that comes to my mind when describing Gilmore Seniors Residence - my mother’s home for the past two years. When our family was looking into assisted living for our mom, we wanted a place where all her daily needs- meals, housekeeping, shopping, security, would be taken care of. A place where her health and well-being will be constantly monitored and thereby giving us peace of mind. And a place where she can freely socialize with other residents, participate in as many of the programmed activities as she desires, and yet maintain her privacy and independence. Happily, for my mom and for us, we found Gilmore Residence “ a place that provides all of that and more. My mom loves her spacious suite that includes a bedroom, full bathroom, living area, dining area, kitchenette, and huge closet space. The common areas including the outdoor patios, front entrance reception, the main lounge, and the adjacent main dining room are all spacious and elegantly decorated. With all the different seasonal decorations, festive dinner menus, theme activities, etc., I truly feel that the atmosphere at Gilmore is more akin to a cruise ship than an ordinary seniors home. The meal service is one of the highlights at Gilmore. The daily and weekly menus are filled with a variety of scrumptious and healthy choices for the residents. The dining room staff and service are excellent. What I like best is that family and friends are welcome to join in for dinner or lunch at any time (for a nominal fee). It is such a treat to be able to have a sit-down dinner with our mom every week. Suffice to say that I’ve enjoyed every meal there. And better still, there is a private dining room available by reservation for those special family celebrations. We took advantage of that several times already and it was wonderful. Given the prevalence of the Covid-19 pandemic and long term care homes in the news, it would be remiss of me not to comment on how Gilmore has managed this crisis. First, Gilmore as an independent retirement community for active seniors is far and away better staffed and managed than those LTC homes that you hear on the news. Right from day 1, the staff and management at Gilmore has been pro-active in implementing all necessary health and safety measures. As a result of their diligence, hard work, and the total cooperation of the residents, there has not been a single infection among the residents. All residents and their families were constantly updated with bi-weekly emails and bulletins on every aspect of the crisis. Yes, all residents were under lockdown and not permitted to leave the building other than for essential appointments. But I, as the designated family visitor’, was still able to visit with my mom in the reception lunge. In fact, management even set up a temporary visitor’s room in the parking lot to allow residents to see their family and friends. The pandemic has indeed been a crisis for all. But its handling by the staff and management at Gilmore is a testament to their dedication in ensuring the safety and well-being of the residents. I have worked in the service industry all my life and I know excellent and caring service when I see it. One of the main attributes of any successful company is their attention to details. Gilmore Residence is no exception. This is clearly evident in all aspects of their operation, such as the Chinese translation of dinner menus, the friendly greeting of visitors, 24/7 handyman service, in-house hair stylist, festive decorations, sincere respect shown to each and every resident, efficient well-trained staff, morning safety checks, and so on and so on. In conclusion, I highly recommend that if you and your family are contemplating assisted living for a loved one, do make a visit to Gilmore Residence, sample a meal, and enjoy a tour of this excellent home away from home’. You will love it.

My mother just loves living at Gilmore Gardens. The management is outstanding and the staff are friendly and caring. We have been so impressed with the measures taken to keep the residents safe and healthy during the pandemic. Mom enjoys the wonderful activities and her fitness has improved with the daily exercise programs. She has made some great new friends and is excited to see what’s on the menu every day. This retirement residence is truly exceptional!

My mom and dad lived here for several years and the staff here are amazing! They care so much for the residents and take time to talk and connect each day. Gilmore felt like home and the staff take the time to decorate for each season, involving the residents who add their own personal touch. I am so thankful for the years we had at Gilmore.

My father has been a resident of Gilmore Gardens for over six years, and the staff have always taken good care of him. Thank you to Miranda and Audrey, and the rest of management for being especially attentive and thorough with their safety precautions during the COVID pandemic this past year. Gilmore Gardens has repeatedly gone above and beyond to provide the great quality of care, including arranging special meals to accommodate my father’s needs. We greatly appreciate all they have done to ensure the safety and comfort of the residents, and cannot recommend Gilmore Gardens and their extraordinary care enough.

Really appreciate all the care and attention given to my mom at Gilmore Gardens. With the closed border due to COVID travel restrictions, and unable to visit mom, this is the only place that gives me peace of mind as I know someone is always there to keep an eye on her.

My parents moved into Gilmore Gardens in 2014 and over the years, our experience with the community has been exceptional. Every member of staff have gone above and beyond to provide for our family's special needs. Communication with Mirandah and Audrey during COVID times has been excellent and we are grateful and comfortable in knowing that the team continues to keep our father safe. I have absolutely no reservations in recommending this retirement community. Look no further!

I could not be happier that my Mum is living at Gilmore Gardens. The staff are amazing and caring, they really make it feel like a home. During the pandemic they have maintained such high safety standards that I never worried about my Mum’s health or safety. Would highly recommend GG to anyone looking for a great place to take the stress out of day to day upkeep of your own home, and gain an extended family too.

We researched a lot of places before we all agreed on GG five years ago (in part, influenced by two different people who reported positive experiences for their own parent). Mum and Dad have enjoyed it thoroughly since then, and we’ve been so impressed with how they’ve been protected from COVID transmission this past year. Throughout, communications with residents and family members has been excellent. When COVID restrictions first started, they swivelled quickly to full-service meals and daily checkins, and to this day their sanitation and contact protocols are the most stringent I’ve seen. We expected that social isolation would be a problem this past year, but the staff worked extremely hard to make life as enjoyable and interesting as possible in the circumstances. My parents have nothing but compliments for GG and its staff, and our family would recommend it to anyone considering a move, especially at this challenging time.

Gilmore Gardens is truly exceptional. My mother has been a resident for over three years. The leadership is outstanding, and this reflects onto all management and staff. I see residents being treated with dignity and respect, in a warm and welcoming family-style community. I have visited several seniors residences in Richmond and Vancouver, and what sets Gilmore Gardens above the others for me is the people - friendly, efficient and helpful in all positions and at all levels.

Gilmore Gardens Retirement Residence is a warm, inviting, and safe place for your loved ones. The staff are always friendly and ready to help whatever the concern. The management has taken the COVID pandemic very seriously and endeavour to keep all the residents healthy by instituting a variety of safety measures. I suggest that you go and check out the Residence to experience all that they have to offer.
